The development trend of medical parts equipment industry(2)

　 2. Milling and drilling-tooth restoration

　　 As a standard, the diameter of the Protostar series solid carbide tools of Walter Prototyp (Walter Prototyp) product of Walter Group is 0.3-20mm. Pratt's production plant is located in Germany and is a well-known supplier in the medical industry. Its taps and thread milling cutters are mainly used to process titanium alloys, such as bone screws or hip joints, and thread milling cutters with a diameter of 1.6 mm can also be used to produce dental restoration products.

　　3. Customized composite tool solutions save time and money

　　Like companies in other industries, companies in the medical industry are also facing increasing cost pressures. If a company wants to stand on the international stage with fierce competition, it must produce high-quality products at low cost. For transplanted products (generally made of high-alloy steel, titanium or titanium alloys), special materials and complex workpiece geometries pose great challenges to the accuracy of the products.

　　For some processing, three standard tools may be needed before, but now only one composite tool is needed, replacing the previous three processes with one process, thus saving time and cost.

　　 For example, processing 1500 workpieces, saving 2 minutes for each workpiece, can save 50 hours of machine man-hours. The disadvantage of this composite tool solution is that it is not reflected in the general tool catalog. The "CATexpress" customized non-standard tool service proposed by Walter Company is different from the conventional non-standard service. The delivery time can be reduced from 6-8 weeks to 14 days. The service is based on a special software program. When the user connects to the Internet and enters all the information (such as application information or machine tool type), the system will output an order record containing the required parameters. After the company receives the order, it can start producing the required non-standard tools in the shortest time.
